WDW Must Do's

[Sharkreef11]

Ok so we all know and love the Must Do's that we get to watch at the resorts when we are relaxing in our rooms. But what about everyone else's must do's? So when you enter your vacation what are the top seven things you know you have to do and would be bummed you missed??

Let's put it at 7 as a tribute to the original "top 7 must do's" they used to show instead of the general must do's.

1. Rides: Mountains at Magic Kingdom, Soarin, Expedition Everest, Toy Story Mania, POTC, Haunted Mansion, Rock'n, ToT
2. Fireworks - Illuminations and Wishes are an absolute must! I love Fantasmic, but we've had bad luck as of late with the show being cancelled because of technical difficulties.
3. Eat at Teppan Edo
4. Spending as much time at Epcot and Magic Kingdom as possible
5. Resort Hopping - We love to go and explore all of the other resorts. Some of our favorite include Polynesian and Grand Floridian
6. Day at Typhoon Lagoon
7. Downtown Disney at Night

There are a bunch of 'must do's on my list good idea to keep it at Disney traditional 7...
1. Dinner at Ohana'
2. Ride the TTA
3. MK first day and Last day

Not that other things such as rides on the "mountains" or TOT aren't important but without those 3 it just doesn't feel right.

4.Space, Splash and Thunder
5.Night time walk around World Showcase
6.Dole Whip
7.TOT & RnR

Eating is a must! We spend countless hours studying all the menus and planning out our meals before hand. We eat ourselves into a food coma when we go. Everything at DW is low fat though right???

When the MK closes Roy O Disneys opening speech is played along with Disney Music and there are lighting effects on the castle. Not sure if it happens nightly.

When the MK closes Roy O Disneys opening speech is played along with Disney Music and there are lighting effects on the castle. Not sure if it happens nightly.

I wasn't sure who's speech that was but we waited for it one night. What else are you going to do on a summer night after MK closes besides stand in line for the bus. It was beautiful. The lights on the castle and the emptiness of the park. I think my fiance recorded it. Plus we even got a bus for ourselves without having to walk all the way to the bus stop.

I knew I forgot one! Earl of Sandwhich is also one of our Must Do's! Well played!:animwink:

Yes it is definitely a must do. We ate there on an off day from the parks and then decided to go after MK one night since we didn't know where to go in the park. I think it really stuck with us. I am looking forward to it this trip.
